The yellow pages were taken out from the books of history
and yellow leaves were turned green into the movie. The candid efforts of
director are clearly visible and the producer “John Abraham and Network 18” utilized
their money in a worthy attempt.
The story is based on the assassination of former Prime
Minister Raghiv Gandhi, the conspiracy of LTF (fictitious depiction of LTTE),
Prabhakaran and the war scenes of Sri Lanka.
John Abraham (Vikram) who is acting as Indian Intelligent
Agent works on the mission in Sri Lanka but comes to know about the conspiracy
to assassinate to the former Prime Minister Raghiv Gandhi at the end. He is off
course, the fictitious character added in the movie. Director Shoojit forgot to
take John out of his placate zone and it seems very irrational when he is found
confessing and telling all the truths to the priest inside the church. It would
have been better if he has confessed the things by sitting in the confession
box as disguised face.
On the other hand, Nargis, once again disappointed the
audiences by her role of journalists in the movie, where the ardor, zeal and fervor
attempts were lacking but her style statement was in high. It appeared as if she
is some corporate manager, instead of a war journalist.
The jerks are clearly noticeable in the story which doesn’t
let audiences understand the things happening around. On the other hand,
locations and characters are highly applauding in the movie.
But, one thing I observed that it’s the fast depiction of
storytelling which anchors the audiences, if the director have allowed pause of
one nanosecond, audiences would have lost their interests in the movie.
The name “Madras café” also had a diverse impression in the
minds of people storytelling was experimented with few new things but do read
the brief of history if you are going to watch it.
No doubt, the facts and figures are homogenized in the movie
but such movies take their own place in bollywood industries and movies on
history should be made in India, as the country itself holds a great history.
